The Perth Scorchers have secured their first Big Bash League title on the third time of asking, beating the Hobart Hurricanes by 39 runs at the WACA on Friday night.

Shaun Marsh made a stunning return from the calf strain sustained while playing for Australia against England in the ODI series to club an unbeaten 63 off 43 balls to propel the Scorchers to 4 for 191, a total Hobart always looked doubtful of reaching.

Hobart eventually ended the night at 7 for 153 as the Scorchers bowlers shut up shop.

"What a wonderful performance. Full credit to the Hurricanes as well, they did the damage against the Melbourne Stars the other night, but we came out full of confidence tonight and were able to defend 191.

We've just got such a great coaching group and great group of lads. I'm lost for words.

"I've got no idea [how I keep performing at age 43], but I'm enjoying this young group.

In the first innings, the Scorchers got off to a sluggish start when Simon Katich (6 off 9) was caught by Dunk off Mascarenhas's bowling, but semi-final hero Craig Simmons injected momentum into proceedings.

Simmons lashed five boundaries on his way to 45 off 36, before skying a catch to Mascarenhas at third man off a full and wide Gulbis delivery.

Shaun Marsh smashed Boyce to the long-leg boundary to bring up his 50, while combining with Adam Voges (27 off 17) for a 63-run third wicket partnership.

Shaun's younger brother Mitchell arrived in the 17th over, who proceeded to lash Mascarenhas for three consecutive sixes in the 18th over, which cost Hobart 24 runs.

Mitchell Marsh eventually fell for 37 off just 12 deliveries, before Nathan Coulter-Nile (4 off 3) came in for some late mad-dash runs between the wickets to close out the innings.

The Hurricanes do have some consolation in that they will feature in the Champions League T20 tournament, along with the Scorchers.
